Howard,
I can guarantee you that ActiveX plug-ins don't and won't work in
Linux-native browsers.
I am guessing you think I mean to use ActiveX through WINE or some such
thing?
Do not worry that had not been my intention I was always to wary of WINE
for my own reasons (not sure even how to use it for running stuff
written for Windows).
So no, no ActiveX on Linux, just stuff written in a compiled language
and accessed via its integration with the browser.
...you now make me think! I wonder if it is possible to talk to programs
running using WINE? (not from browsers I just mean write for example a
console program that reports what WINE is running by looking at what
calls are being made to what I assume is the running code for an API
implementation.)
I suppose? it is possible but not without knowing a lot about WINE or if
there is already some utility for restricting software being run.
Java was designed for WORA. Use it!
What is WORA? (sorry not too hot on definitions).
Regards
Howard
